| 10/6/26 | #195: Early 17Lands.com data for Reality Fracture | FRA is a banger. But a banger that is particularly hard to navigate. Cards can be contextually good, but there are some universal trends. Once you know them - the rest will become much easier. And hopefully by the end of this seminar you will have that baseline knowledge. And the true format discovery process can begin!I started offering coaching on Metafy!

| 9/27/26 | #194: Reality Fracture draft deck skeletons with the Skeleton Crew | New set is out soon so why don't you learn the ins and outs of what we think is important in out eccentric, deck-centric set review. Instead of looking at cards, we build decks and show you how we think they might work. With me are The Rosemary Tea - check her awesome streams here. She is one of the most interesting drafters on the market, heavily invested in BO3 - as Garfield intended:https://www.twitch.tv/therosemaryteaAnd Springbok.

| 9/11/26 | #193: How is Pick 2 draft different? | This week I look into Pick Two draft. Since its introduction it has become a popular variant of Magic, both because of how fast it is, how little it costs and a relatively OK payout structure. So what does it change in drafting and what does having 12 packs in the pod change in the resulting decks? I started offering coaching on Metafy! Go to my profile to see what's on offer!
